    2th will chastise me for being cheap, but I emailed them about a nonfunctional 10 year old Thermacell, and they said to send it in. Replaced the butane valve mechanism and sent it back for free.

    IDK about how deer react to a nostril full of the stuff, but Ive killed a decent pile of SC deer with bow and rifle while using a thermacell; I’ve never killed a non dog-drive SC deer While sitting on stand getting eaten alive by mosquitos.

    I’ve heard that as well. The one I have is about 10 years old. Evidently I forgot to turn mine off the last time I used it last year. I’m lucky it didn’t catch on fire in my bag because it got hot! Melted a good bit of the plastic but it still worked when I turned it on the other day.

    ^^^^^This is my logic. I am not sitting in a stand without one until much later in the season.

    If they can smell the thermacell they can smell you too. The old ones lasted forever, these newer ones can hardly make it through a season.
